So I get the impression I should confine myself to ctrl, shift, and alt-gr keys as mouse click modifiers... just one question: what's "alt-gr"??? I can't find one on any ofthe keyboards here...
thanks Miller

forgot to metion in my last mail that in most windowmanagers alt-somewhat combos always belong to either the wm or to the used toolkit/gui-kit (for example to access menu entrys and the like) to have "good" keybindings in an application, its better to use the shift, ctrl, or alt-gr key(s) in combination with the mouse or other keys. simple to remeber : anything with an alt-key belongs somehow to the gui-kit....... at least i dont know any shift/ctrl-click combinations that belong to a wm/gui-kit directly.
I would like it that way, too. Altough I think, that a decent window manager should be configurable in this regard (like sawfish for example is), I am quite fond of blackbox, which has all three alt-clicks hardcoded to move/raise-lower/resize.
"Blackbox follows the rules and assumptions set forth in the Inter-Client Communications Conventions Manual (ICCCM) as
closely as possible (this is a work in progress, some of the colormap handling is still unsupported). Blackbox isn't FULLY ICCCM compliant because of the explicit key grabs (also known as HotKeys) it provides to simplify operation." (http://blackbox.alug.org/)Unfourtunatly PD doesn't think of Alt-Gr as just another Alt-Key, so I could not use this key instead, becaus to blackbox Alt-Gr isn't Alt, too.
